Have diabetes? You'll soon be able to have someone take a syringe and implant an RFID chip in you that will check for your glucose levels.

AND if you have some cows, etc, you can have THEM done, too.!

Digital Angel Corp. says it has received a patent for a syringe-implantable glucose-sensing RFID microchip.

The microchip, also called an embedded biosensor system, measures glucose concentration in diabetics. Digital Angel received U.S. approval for its patent last week. The company is seeking international patent protection.

Digital Angel said its sister company, VeriChip would market and distribute the microchip. CEO and President Kevin McGrath said patent approval is a major step in getting the device to the public.
